Xia Enruo planned to have Qin Gang have dinner at the restaurant, and she would cook a few dishes herself as a way of entertaining her old friend whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
This time, the two exchanged contact information, learned the location of each other's shops, and discussed cooperation.
We'll inevitably have to meet frequently to discuss business in the future.
Qin Gang politely declined Xia Enruo's offer, as he was also very busy at his shop and needed to get back early after being away for so long.
"Hey sis, I know where you are now. We'll see what happens in the future. I'll go back and get the menu ready. I'm sure this partnership will make us money."
Ge Qiuqin also came down to the first floor and saw Gu Shaoxuan and his wife seeing off their guests. She followed behind to see who it was.
As Qin Gang got into the car, he waved goodbye to the three of them and noticed Ge Qiuqin standing behind him. Although he didn't know her, he nodded to her out of politeness.
"Xia, who is this? He's big and burly, and looks like a bully."
Xia Enruo was amused by her description.
"Sister-in-law, you really know how to describe him. He's Brother Qin Gang. Although he looks a bit sleazy, he's very loyal and righteous."
"After all, they're in business, so their attire and appearance will naturally reflect their wealth."
"Oh, as long as he's a good person, that's fine. I'm afraid someone will come looking for trouble with you again, which will give me a fright."
After learning about Xia Enruo's kidnapping, Ge Qiuqin realized that doing business also carries risks.
If you do well and outshine others, you will suffer from jealousy and be hurt, and not just in a normal way.
These days, there are all sorts of malicious people.
The three entered the house, and Gu Shaoxuan grabbed Xia Enruo's arm and said:
"Enruo, come here, I need to tell you something."
Xia Enruo followed Gu Shaoxuan into the private room.
"What's going on? Why are you being so secretive?"
"In the afternoon, someone from the procuratorate contacted me through Sister Meixia, saying that the trial for Zhang Guohong and the others' illegal detention case would begin next week."
They hope you can appear in court to support the prosecution as a victim, and they want to know your opinion.
After the Public Security Bureau completed its investigation of Zhang Guohong and his associates' case, it was transferred to the Procuratorate. After review, the Procuratorate determined that the circumstances of the crime met the elements of illegal detention and intentional injury.
Therefore, a public prosecution was filed with the court. Since Xia Enruo was the victim in the entire case, a civil compensation lawsuit was also filed, hoping that Xia Enruo would appear in court to testify against the crime and support the public prosecution.
Xia Enruo hesitated when she heard Gu Shaoxuan say that.
Deep down, she really didn't want to see the ugly faces of Zhang Guohong and his gang again; she had just slowly recovered from the bad memories of a month ago.
If I were to see those people again, the scene from that day would surely replay in my mind like a movie.
She was struggling internally.
"If you don't want to go, then we won't go. It's not like we're forcing you to go. They just want to get your opinion. Whether you go or not is our decision."
When Gu Shaoxuan saw that his wife didn't respond for a moment, he knew that she must be feeling bad, especially since Zhang Guohong was also a relative.
Seeing him in court again would be hard for most people to accept, and besides, Zhang Guohong's family will definitely be notified after his arrest and detention.
They will definitely be present on the day of the court appearance, and if Xia En sees them, it will probably inevitably lead to a verbal dispute.
“I’ll go, why wouldn’t I? I want to see these bad guys punished by law with my own eyes. You talk to the prosecutors, I agree to appear in court.”
"Have you thought it through? I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable."
Gu Shaoxuan took Xia Enruo's hand and looked at her affectionately.
"Of course I feel bad. Who wants to see them? But there aren't that many things in this world that go as planned."
"Should we run away from difficulties? I, Xia Enruo, will not."
"Okay, I'll go with you then. Let's see who dares to bully my wife."
Seeing that Xia Enruo was feeling down, and that she was pouting, Gu Shaoxuan pulled her close to him.
"Even if the sky falls, I'm tall enough to hold it up. Don't dwell on the past. Smile, you look your best when you smile."
Xia Enruo looked into Gu Shaoxuan's eyes, but she couldn't bring herself to laugh. Just thinking about Zhang Guohong's face made her want to chop him up.
Gu Shaoxuan held Xia Enruo's hands, gazed into her eyes, lowered his head and rested his forehead on Xia Enruo's head, their breathing so close that they could hear each other clearly.
"It seems that being tall has its advantages; you can stand tall and proud."
Xia Enruo said softly.
"Just for you."
Upon hearing this, Xia Enruo's lips curled up slightly.
"What a smooth talker."
On the day of the trial, the courtroom was full of people, including public security officers, prosecutors, and judges, as well as observers. Wu Meixia and Wu Shaojun were also there and sat below.
Gu Shaoxuan sat with Xia Enruo in the prosecutor's seat, waiting for the judge to arrive.
She glanced at the crowd below the stage and saw two figures that were both unfamiliar and familiar.
Using the original owner's memories, she recognized Zhang Guohong's parents, who were her so-called "uncle and aunt".
Judging from the fierce looks they were giving him, he probably hated them to the core.
Zhang Guohong's father is Zhang Baozhu, who is now the village head, and his mother is Wang Yue'e, a typical rural woman.
When Xia Enruo's family was poor, her adoptive parents helped them a lot. After they died, Zhang Baozhu and Wang Yue'e received the compensation money for their exoneration and drove Xia Enruo out completely.
An adopted child doesn't deserve to inherit his sister and brother-in-law's estate. He should just die somewhere else.
With this money, Zhang Baozhu lived a good life in the village, and his family's financial situation suddenly improved.
